SC193- Bordello Monde

Photo Details

Poster: Chautona

Ok, so it's not a very nice title. It's risque-- everything I'm not. However, I think this looks like an advertisement for a bordello in gay Paree. Hence the name. I thought hence worked well with this card. It's a hency sort of card. Add to that the fact that I used the Eiffel Tower and my brain immediately started reciting Song of Solomon-- "I am a wall and my..." Yeah. I've gotta get out of the gutter.

I had to use sequins. I don't like them. Didn't know if I had any. Had this left over from making a head thing for a 1920's costume (stinkin' cute btw) and it fit the next sketch. Woot. Or should that be Oui-t.? Yeah. Enough with the faux French. *giggles*

It's done. ONTO THE NEXT!

How classy this is in black and white! The stretchy sequin band makes a great border and the loose sequins are fabulous accents!
